Tall Maxi dress

Hey guys. It’s been a long time and a crazy year! 2016, what can I say … You’ll definitely be a year that stands out in our history books. Thankfully there’s retail therapy to get my mind off things and Long Tall Sally’s CURATDline came right on time.

The Curatd X LTS is centered around around a dusky color palette that is ideal for the Fall and Winter! The collection features soft tulip prints, feminine cuts and subtle detailing. One piece that caught my eye was the Tall CURATD Dusky Tulip Playsuit Maxi.

CURATD. gives another trend-led dimension to the offer at Long Tall Sally. It’s the ultimate tall style statement: a collection that celebrates strong, contemporary women and further reinforces Long Tall Sally as the destination for fashion for tall women.” – Andrew Shapin, Long Tall Sally CEO

The Tall CURATD Dusky Tulip Playsuit Maxifeatures a printed dusky tulip print with a plunging V neckline. The body is fully lined with semi-sheer Georgette sleeves. While the fabric is sheer, the full body lining adds an extra layer of warmth for the cooler temperatures of Fall. The romper features a flowing maxi skirt that adds just the right amount of drama to your outfit.

The neckline is very deep so I would suggest wearing a plunge bra with the romper or wearing a cute lace v neck cami if you need a bit of coverage on top. The romper shorts were the perfect length for my 6 foot tall frame and allowed me to showcase my legs without feeling uncomfortable. The maxi skirt also added a bit of modesty to the romper for those ladies that like to give a bit of sex appeal without doing too much.

I paired the romper with strappy oxblood heels to add a pop of color to the outfit. I also thought about pairing the playsuit with over the knee boots as the temperatures begin to drop. I definitely will be wearing this romper quite a bit for Fall. The floral pattern and weight of the fabric also makes this piece perfect for the cooler temperatures in Spring! This is definitely a multi season piece – two seasons in one outfit!

I am truly loving this new Curatd X LTSline!! I’ve been patiently waiting for Long Tall Sally to give us tall fashionistas edgier pieces and they certainly delivered with Curatd!

Head over to Long Tall Sally to check out more of the Curatd X LTSline before it sells out!

Height Goddess was one of the first brands that catered exclusively for tall women and they continue to deliver classic staples for us long limb gals. Their maxi dresses run as long as 70 inches! I got this fuchsia Height Goddess Maxi Dress during their sale and have been hoarding it just for summer.

THE HEIGHT Hauteur Coral Grecian Goddess Tall Maxi Dressfeatures a deep neckline adorned with adjustable silver adornments which can be shifted up or down to make for a dramatic or more conservative neck. I love that the back of the dress is not open and it allows girls with a fuller bust to wear a bra.

The empire waist which flows into a slinky draped jersey fabric allows the dress to flatter all shapes and hides any unflattering places in the mid section. The 63.5 inches length allowed me to wear the dress with heels and still have it drag on the floor.

This is the perfect maxi dress for tall women that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.

The dress comes in both coral and teal and can be purchased at THE HEIGHT .

A few weeks ago I had the awesome opportunity to model for a new clothing store for us tall women and tall girls – THE HEIGHT !

THE HEIGHT was the brainchild of Kia, a 5’10” stunner and former basketball player, who created THE HEIGHT out of a love for fashion and the need to bring a chic, contemporary, classic, urban and trendy clothing store to tall women.

Tall women are so accustomed to paying more than they should for clothing. We have made a pledge to tall women that the price of our garments will go hand in hand with the design, fabric and construction quality. Some pieces will be priced lower and some higher but we will always price our garments fairly. – THE HEIGHT

I am so excited to have a tall brand that is designing fashionable clothing at more than reasonable prices! Seriously, stylish jumpsuits and maxi dresses for tall women under $50?!?!? Tall Girl Heaven !!!

The price points for clothing at THE HEIGHT is currently $28 – $48 which is an absolute steal. In speaking with Kia, I know thatThe HEIGHT has a pulse on trends and will be catering to the most fashionable tall chick.

I modeled the THE HEIGHT Black Laci Maxi Dress which swept the floor as I walked in 4 inch heels!! My 6 foot self was ecstatic! The Dress can be dressed up with a statement necklace as I did in the first shot, or worn plain for a more causal urban look.

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit a store dedicated to clothing just for us tall women – Talltique. The store is located in Bethesda, MD and is by appointment only. When I arrived owner of Talltique – Helen Pappas – was there to greet me. Helen is a gorgeous 6’5″ blonde and truly understands the needs of us tall women when it comes to fashion!

Helen provides this personal treatment to all of her customers and this truly sets Talltiqueapart. Helen listens to you needs and works to enhance your personal style.

I had the opportunity to try on a few of Talltique’s offerings and I was jumping for tall girl joy when all of the pieces swept the ground and covered my wrists and ankles. Seriously, if you are taller than average your must check this store out.

First up was the Tall Bomber Style Jacket, Racerback Tankand38” White Skinny Yoga Jeans. First up HOLY COW – the white yoga jeans were AMAZING!!! These jeans felt like yoga pants and at a 38″ inseam were more than generous enough for my 6 foot height. Did I mention how comfortable these pants were!!! I can’t say enough. The bomber jacket was long in the sleeves and torso and was a rich brown color. The fabric was soft and buttery to the touch. The racerback tank was extremely stretchy and could fit a wide range of sizes.

At Talltique we sell clothing for ladies over 5’10”, but we specialize in clothing for ladies over 6′ tall. It makes me smile to know that I am making a difference in the lives of tall women shoppers, and changing their way of thinking from ‘Nothing ever fits my body well or is long enough’ to ‘Wow! I can actually find long AND stylish AND flattering clothing from Talltique! – Helen Pappas

People just don’t understand that as women well over 6′ tall, not only can we not find clothes at ‘average’ retailers but even the limited amount of ‘tall’ sizes out there are still too short for us. As a woman standing 6’4″ I DO understand this, and at Talltique I cater to these tall women like myself who cannot find clothes that are long enough anywhere else. Many stores have what they call tall inseams measuring 33″-36″, and those lengths haven’t worked for me since I was 5’10” in junior high. This is why we begin with inseams at 37″ and go all the way up to 41″. It makes me proud to say that our 41″ Bootcut Jeans by Zen Vintage are an exclusive to Talltique, and are the longest jeans for women available off the rack in the U.S. Many of my customers are able to cuff our jeans, and wear them with heels, which is a really special experience for someone who usually can’t find anything long enough to be able to actually find something that’s too long. – Helen Pappas

“What does Talltique have that other tall stores don’t? A fabulous 3-6 extra inches of length, that’s what!”

“Just because we are tall, doesn’t mean we are the same shape or size. So my Talltique Private Label items, like the Tall Bomber Jacket, Tall 38″ and 40″ Inseam Leggings, Maxi Dresses and Skirts are available in a size range to cater to everyone from the tall and lanky customer to the tall and curvy ones. We focus on the most universally flattering styles so that no matter what shape or size you are, you’ll look and feel great in our clothing!” – Helen Pappas

“As a 6’4″ shopaholic, I know what’s available out there in the world of tall women’s clothing and I know what’s missing. It’s easy for me to say to myself ‘I wish I had _________ in my closet’ and that’s a pretty good place to start knowing that if I don’t have it, chances are good that other tall women don’t either.” – Helen Pappas

I also had the opportuniy to meet the gorgeous and totally fabulous 6’6″ Sydney.

“If it weren’t for Talltique, I literally wouldn’t have anything to wear and I don’t know what I would do! It’s so disappointing to shop from other tall stores because they don’t cater to women at the top of the tall spectrum, like me. But,Talltique certainly does.” – 6’6″ Sydney
